Limit registered customers way too low in AP, WISP

RouterOS Wireless Networking

Hi Friends!!.
We build a local WISP, I have a 100Mb link to my service provider, connect to this link 5 (60 degree) sector antennas vertically polarized only.

Each sector antenna is connected as a team RB711-AP-U 5HN. (license level 4) and directly to a switch to 100Mb link


APs work with the next configuration:

Mode: AP-Bridge
802.11n only
20/40 MHz HT Above
NV2 Protocol
MCS 0 to 7

Bridge ether1 and wlan1


Customers use as CPE equipment SXT (using only a chain) that is intended to provide plans 5Mb/512Kb (Down / Up). same wireless settings as the AP.

At first, the first 10 patients in each sector are working properly, however when they start having 15 or more registered clients, there are many problems with bandwidth and new customers fail more than 1 or 2 Mb link!

How many customers can sign up for an AP mikrotik? there any restrictions in terms of bandwidth, etc?

Under conditions of maximum traffic the AP hardly even manage to 25Mb or more tests with BTest show up 60Mb links …

The AP never shows more than 30% of processor usage.

Plans are to have up to 80 or 100 subscribers per sector, is this possible with these protocols?

Thanks for your help!

I doubt you will get 80-100 customers per sector. With 5ghz and NV2 you might get 40-50 tops I would say. (At those speeds)

I agree and 40-50 is more of a reasonable number. You might not be able to get that many though.

Thanks for your responses …

that would require me to serve up to 100 users per sector? more bandwidth? change the RB711 by some other more powerful (maybe RB800)?

even now with about 20 registered users, the behavior is very bad.!

You would be a lot better off with a dual polarity 5GHz sector and a 711-5HnD.
